I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Speak to me softly
Speak to me dear
Speak to me, I am here
Speak to me girl
Speak to my world
Speak to me, I will hear
I tell you softly
I tell you dear
I tell you I am here
I tell you girl
I tell you my world
I tell you, will you hear
I don’t want to see you fall
I don’t want to see you fall, because
For you I would give anything
For you I would be anything
...for you
Please listen closely
Please listen dear
Please listen, I want you to hear
Please listen well
To what I have to tell
For this I want you to hear
I don’t want to see you fall
I don’t want to see you fall, because
For you I would give anything
For you I would be anything
You are my everything
You mean everything to me
Anything and everything
I’d give it all to you
Will you ever understand
What I wish to say to you
Speak to me dear
Speak to me, I am here
Speak to me girl
Speak to my world
Speak to me, I will hear
I tell you softly
I tell you dear
I tell you I am here
I tell you girl
I tell you my world
I tell you, will you hear
I don’t want to see you fall
I don’t want to see you fall, because
For you I would give anything
For you I would be anything
...for you
Please listen closely
Please listen dear
Please listen, I want you to hear
Please listen well
To what I have to tell
For this I want you to hear
I don’t want to see you fall
I don’t want to see you fall, because
For you I would give anything
For you I would be anything
You are my everything
You mean everything to me
Anything and everything
I’d give it all to you
Will you ever understand
What I wish to say to you

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
